Programming Drones with Simulink

Greg Drayer Andrade, MathWorks

Overview

In this webinar, you will learn how Simulink® lets you design and deploy flight controllers for a palm-sized quadcopter using the Simulink Support Package for PARROT­­® Minidrones. It will describe the quadcopter platform used, the sensors and algorithms needed to make it work, and how the Support Package and Simulink add-on tools enable a complete Model-Based Design workflow from modeling and simulation to flight. The workflow can help quickly iterate on flight controller designs before deploying and testing on hardware. Professors, lecturers and trainers can use this webinar and its approach in the classroom to teach control systems to undergraduate and graduate students in engineering.
